But what I might agree with you is that it is difficult to teach people to _want_ to behave ethically, if they are repeatedly in settings where that behavior is not seen as important or advantageous, or if they have come to believe that their standard of behavior _is_ the correct path, without any room for doubt or consideration for the needs of others. I look forward to learning more about the new curriculum, and if you have students who are interested in the business of biotech or medicine, perhaps we could talk about ways to collaborate to meet those needs.
